Much of US faces energy outages this winter, regulators say

Published



A large portion of North America is at risk of insufficient energy supplies during peak winter conditions this year, U.S. and Canadian regulators at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, or NERC, said on Thursday.

In its 2022-2023 winter reliability assessment, regulators said the reliability concerns are driven by higher peak demand projections and inadequate generator weatherization, as well as low fuel supply risks and limitations to natural gas infrastructure.
